Untreated pavements and cycle paths could also become impassable.
RAC Breakdown spokesperson Rod Dennis said: “Even a little snow on the roads has the potential to make them treacherous for drivers, so we’re advising everyone to proceed extremely cautiously over the next few days.
“Being gentle on the accelerator and brake is vital to lessen the chances of skidding.
“It’s also essential drivers go out prepared for the conditions by packing warm clothes and blankets, food and drink and a portable battery charger so their mobiles don’t let them down even if their vehicles do.
“Anyone who isn’t confident with winter driving might want to postpone their journeys until temperatures increase.”
